the machine i have is only four weeks old which is quite annoying if an engineer has to come out i was hoping it was something rediculessly simple that i could do. never mind phone call it is a day of work, lots of day time tv watching for me.
Re: Hotpoint WMA62 Not taking in fabric softner

Re: Hotpoint WMA62 Not taking in fabric softner
hello guys hows it hanging. i have a hotpoint aquarius WT740 and this is doing the same as the WMA62. the machine is brand new and isnt using the fabric softener. it cant be the softener to thick as i use the same softener that hotpoint recommend. the water pressure is at 7bar so fine there. i will be ringing customer support to get it sorted but wondered if anyone knows what could be doing this on a brand new machine. (me thinks solanoid stuck) machine is fine for everything else, washes absolutly brilliantly. thanks every one. glyn 😯
Re: zanussi fls1185qw spins flat out at start
thanks for the help it is most appreciated. i have removed the motor and tested all of the cable connections and they seem fine the tacho coil is working ok and i have used a digital multi meter and from a post on this site i have compared the resistence measurements and they are ok.
i have not been able to do a megger test to see if there is an earth fault as i dont have the equipment for it . i am trying to do as much as i can without getting outside help but think im running out of options. when you say the electronics have failed are you refering to the pcb board on the top of the timer ( timer type is ako 513 214 124 7526 02) is there any way i can test it to see if i need a new on before i have to call someone out. thanks for all the help….Re: zanussi fls1185qw spins flat out at start
the magnet is in place and is inline with the coil. it seems that the magnet is not screwed but fixed by a rivet which was factory fitted and has a plastic cover with slits in.
Re: zanussi fls1185qw spins flat out at start
ok here we go, I have taken the tacho coil out and check it for continuity and it is ok also looked at the shaft of the motor and that looks fine as well nothing was loose or coming away. Retaining clip was in place and all cables were ok. I cleaned the filter out which is located on the front of the machine at the bottom and this was full of gunk and i think it has never been cleaned, is it possible for this to have had any affect. All help is much appreciated as christmas looms and could do with not having to buy new one just yet. the machine looks in quite good order inside it not been leaking at all and doesnt get damp. cheers
Re: zanussi fls1185qw spins flat out at start
i will now go reassembly my mashine and have a look at the motor, i saw the wires in the end of the motor and wondered what that was for. it looked ok but will take it apart and check. i have looked at all the cable and circuitry and every thing looks good so i hope it is the tacho. thanks for all the help and will let you know if this is the problem…..glyn
